It sure looks like the majority of the data will still be intact. There are many factors that come into play, but the mere fact that they deleted the files a few days before handing over the computers means that casual use of the computers likely did not occur. If they had been intentional in making the files unrecoverable, then they would have eliminated the FAT or MFT entries, which they did not.
This screenshot is from R-Studio 8.x. If the files can be recovered, that should do the trick.
My guess is that this will show the fraudulent vote adjudication. They will likely have images of ballots correlated to determination of voter intent. Oddly, the voter intent will not correspond to the image!!!
